V1 2

This season, we’re talking about something not often discussed in cancer care - sex and intimacy.

Join Ash from Cancer Council ACT’s Supportive Care Team and sex therapist Andreea Ardeleanu as they explore how cancer can affect intimacy, relationships, and wellbeing.

Whether you’re in a relationship or single, Let's Chat Cancer, Sex & Intimacy provides a space for practical and supportive conversations to help you feel heard, informed, and empowered to navigate intimacy on your terms.
